Sean discusses the best features of the program and dives in to share his own personal workflow for creating HDR images. This video covers importing images, setting up preferences, how to begin the HDR process with the Preset Library, and how to fine-tune that work to create your own custom conversion. Sean will cover the powerful Tone Compression, Method Strength, HDR Method, and Tonality features, as well as how to use HDR Efex Pro’s Grad ND sliders, Control Points, and Vignettes to put the finishing touches on your image.
